OH_OKAY_YEAH
Sitting Out
Okay, I know this is probably an absurd post, but two questions - first, has anyone tried one of these? I understand these are not high quality, but just how bad are they?

Second, has anyone tried messing around with these? Re-felting them with speedcloth? Is that doable (however absurd)? Or custom mat on top?
My needs are as follows:
1) Easily storable - I have limited storage space, so the tri-fold would be quite nice to stuff into a closet.
2) Portable - The tri-fold would be ultra portable, I'd think - certainly more than a non-folding table, and a bit easier than something like a Barrington table (should fit into a larger sedan ideally).
3) Table topper - Not a lot of room at my place (or the other guys') to setup a full table and chairs. Table topper sitting on an existing table is best.
4) Affordable - Just cannot afford / justify anything of great cost right now.
Our group plays very casually - once every 6-8 weeks. I'm just trying to elevate our game a touch. The portability is a must, as we rotate locations (we have young kids, so we share the challenge of hosting with little ones).
I saw the Barrington table thread, and I do like the idea of re-felting one of those, if not now perhaps eventually. However, how well can they work sitting on top of a table like a table-topper? Or are they really best as a standalone table? It seems they would not work too well as a topper, so I haven't considered that route strongly.
As the tri-fold is already a topper, and cheap, I'm curious about re-felting it or throwing a custom mat on top of it (I know this is borderline painting a turd gold). I do NOT have high expectations that it will last for years and years, but I'm looking for something that can last a little while on a dime for now.
Thanks!
